Hello all! Interesting week this week as Logan's little brother, Peyton, acquired Hand, Foot, & Mouth Disease.....then gave it to Logan. Sounds a lot worse than the name. Both boys had (Logan still does) sores in their mouths that make it hard to eat. And in Peyton's case hard to sleep (all night parties for him). This disease is most commonly found in Toddlers and is very contagious. Since Logan's immune system is that of about a two year old due to his stem cell transplant, we were anticipating him acquiring it.

Other than that things have been going great. Logan loves second grade. All of Logan's tests are scheduled for October 7th, 8th, & 9th. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Sorry it has been so long since last update. Things have going great. Logan had a very busy & healthy summer. He did a basketball camp, went to Disneyland, Legoland, Sea World, Animal Kingdom, 2 Padres Games, Camping 2 different places including seeing Grandma & Grandpa in Eastern Washington. He rarely was inside all summer. Whenever he was home he was outside playing with Chloe and or his little brother Peyton (who turned 2 at the end of July).

Logan's next round of scans/tests at Seattle Children's Hospital are scheduled for mid October. These ones will be extensive including hearing & heart test as well as all the regulars.

"I would like to take a moment and describe my HERO. My HERO cannot fly, stop speeding trains, or save the world. Rather my HERO wakes up every morning to face a new day, knowing that day will likely be filled with pain and nausea. My HERO has the strength to endure long drives to the hospital for exams and blood draws. My HERO has the ability to face illness, without losing his sense of humor. My HERO can understand that even though his tumor is gone, his cancer is a life-long battle. My HERO, though a child, can face adult situations and participate in medical decisions. My Hero, my strength, my courage, MY SON" -Ingrid Stolmack, mom of cancer survivor.
